Twins!!

Haha no its not me darn it!! My bro (Bryant) and his wife came down this weekend to spend some time with us. When they got here they showed us their ultrasound. Yup there is two of them. Bryant told me he needed to think of two names but I kind of didn't believe him till I saw the pictures. Crazy! I am so excited for them. Jodi is funny she just kept saying I can't believe there is two growing in my stomach! Congrats and the best of luck! Love you guys!

She is so big Now!

I finally got some of my pictures order of Jaeda.

When I got these back I cried. She has gotten so

big and seems to be growing so fast. I can't believe it where

does time go. I love the little baby stage.

Holiday Fun!

We had a great time over the Christmas break. Of course my kids loved opening presents and they were really fun to watch this year. We gave Tanley my old doll house which as you can see has become a place to store children. Talon got a new bike which was actually given to us by my sister. It was your daughters bike so I had a friend that works at an auto body repaint it. We thought it turned out nicely. After Christmas we headed up to Rexburg and to alot of snow. It was fun we went snow machining alot (yes I am from Idaho translation snow mobiling). I think Ty and I had more fun on those than the kids. We hooked the snowboards up to it and Ty went off the rough it was funny. We also put mentos in a Diet coke bottle haha! If you haven't seen this or tried it please check it out on youtube. It is hilarious. Ty and I also got a day to ourselves snowboarding. Wow, it had been 2 years since I had been because I have been pregnant every year. It was so fun it felt good to get back on the slopes and Ty even landed his backflip Ya! Then we went to my sisters house in Bountiful for New Years. Um yah those are Rootbeer bottles crazy people. I love my sisters family and there crazy little dog. Well, it was a good break but it is always nice to come home and take down christmas decorations boo!

Must see!

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.-Benjamin Button

Some people are born to sit by a river,some get struck by lightning,some have an ear for music,some are artists,some swim,some know buttons,some know Shakespeare,some are mothers and some people dance.

So over New Years my sister, her husband and son, and Ty and I went to see this film. Wow, it was very good minus of few skin showings (nothing to serious though come on its Brad Pitt) it was excellent. The two quotes above were are favorites. I love movies that actually have some depth and good meanings behind them.

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
